Title: Improvements in or relating to Machines for Clamping and Cutting Paper or the like.
Inventor: HADDAN REGINALD
Filed: 1906-04-18
Granted: 1906-10-11
Abstract: 9197. Haddan, R., [Cross Paper Feeder Co.]. April 18. Cutting-machines for paper &c.-In a guillotine cutting-machine, the clamp-operating mechanism is adapted to be automatically thrown out of operation when the pressure exerted by the clamp reaches a predetermined and adjustable amount, such pressure being maintained until the cutting is completed. The clamp C is secured to bars C<2>, provided at their lower ends with racks which transmit motion to the clamp from pinions c<1> on a shaft c, driven from a belt-driven shaft B through spiral gearing D<8>, D<9>, D<6>, D<7> and worm-gearing c<2>, D. The tendency of the rotating shaft D<1>, which carries the worm D, to travel in the direction of its axis is counteracted by an arm F secured to a rock-shaft F<1>, which is also provided with arms F<3> carrying adjustable weights F<2>. When the pressure of the clamp is sufficient to overcome this resistant action due to the weights, the shaft F<1> is rocked, and a clutch D<3> on the shaft D<1> is thrown out of engagement through links F<6>, F<5>, F<4>, thereby stopping the descent of the clamp. The return of the clamp is effected through links C<10>, C<8>, C<7> which connect it with a counterweighted treadle C<5>. The knife-bar A is operated by links A<5>, A<6> from a rock-shaft A<7>, which carries a slotted arm A<11>, adapted to engage a crank-pin A<8>, carried by a wheel A<9>, driven from the shaft B through a clutch A<13>. This clutch is operated by a hand-lever A<18>, and is disengaged after the return of the knife-bar A by a pawl a, operated from the arm A<11> through links a', a', a<5>. The shaft c, which controls the descent of the clamp, is also provided with a clutch c<3>, normally closed by a spring c<4>, but adapted to be opened through links c<6>, c<7>, c<8> to allow the return of the clamp when the knife-bar operating mechanism is stopped. The operation of the parts of the machine is so timed that the full clamping-pressure is applied to the paper &c. before it is engaged by the knife. Springs may be used in place of the weights.

Title: Improvements in Electro-capillary Apparatus.
Inventor: ORLING AXEL
Filed: 1906-05-02
Granted: 1907-08-02
Abstract: 10,327. Orling, A. May 2. Current meters.- Relates to electrocapillary apparatus in which the two dissimilar liquids are contained in an horizontal tube, the displacement of the liquid acting on a delicately suspended member which controls a circuit-closing contact, a siphon-recording apparatus, or a photographic recorder as described in Specification No. 19,063, A.D. 1903. The capillary tube a, Fig. 1, contains two plugs c of mercury separated by dilute sulphuric acid d. The central portion a' of the tube is arched to keep the lighter liquid in position. Resting on the surface of the mercury in the bent-up end portions a<1> of the tube are the ends f<1> of the rod f, pivoted to the tensioned filament g, which also carries the siphon tube h. The long leg of the siphon is vibrated by a cord n connected to the spring m resting on a rotating toothed wheel k. The displacement of the mercury oscillates the rod f and thereby the siphon tube, which may be replaced by a contact-arm playing over a divided contact-plate, arranged in a local relay circuit. The bent-up ends a<1> of the tube a may be reduced in diameter so as to magnify the movement of the mercury. The arched central portion a<2> of the tube may be omitted, and the tube restricted at its centre. Fig. 6 shows a modification of the tube in which only one plug t of mercury is in contact with the acid u. The end of the pivoted member w rests against the mercury t. The pressure of air in the tube v can be adjusted by sliding it over the upturned end s<1>. Specification No. 2053A, A.D. 1903, [Abridgment Class Electric telegraphs &c.], is also referred to.
